A Brief Philosophy From The Founder
In an address at Carnegie-Mellon University in 1971, Revelle outlined the philosophy that epitomized his life: We must work to improve the quality of the social environment created by human beings . . . We must stem the deterioration of our natural environment by preserving its wonder, beauty, and diversity . . . We must face the facts of world population growth . . . We must re-inspire our universities . . . We should work for the abolition of atomic weapons . . . To create a new world, we must first create within ourselves a higher concern for good, a stronger will for right action, and a deeper sense of brotherhood . . . .
